Hi,

I have a requirement in UCI when user goes to Activities and clicks on the Email button then we will need to show an alert and restrict the email page from opening.

I am thinking to paste the JS on email form load as the user clicks on email button which opens the email form. I am new to coding, can you please help with the code for the above scenario.

Appreciate the help!

Thanks.

RE: Showing an alert and closing the window

The unsaved popup occurs if the form has any field populated. I guess out of box crm populates the From/ To fields...The only way around this is to clear these fields(or any other fields which is auto populated) within your on load script. something like below-

formContext.getAttribute(<your_field>).setValue(null);

With respect to user seeing the form, this can't be changed as the script you have will be called only when the form is loaded so user's will still see it.

Hope this helps.

RE: Showing an alert and closing the window

Thanks Ravi, that worked but after the alert I get the Unsaved changes pop up where when I click on '×' or users will still see the email form. Is there any way to stop the Unsaved changes pop up on the email form which opens when I click the email button from Activities?

All I want is to show an alert the user and dont allow the users to save the email record.

Hi James,

Assuming that you have registered the method son onload event, you need to pass the context as well. Refer below blog-

Also, please do not that the current code will restrict create mode from all places i.e. the new email record will not be created.

Hope this helps.

Hi partner,

According to your requirement, you could try the following code. When the new create form of email opens, there will be an alert and then close the email form.

function alertAndClose(executionContext){ var formContext=executionContext.getFormContext(); var formType = formContext.ui.getFormType(); if (formType == 1){//create mode var alertStrings = { confirmButtonLabel: "Yes", text: "This is an alert.", title: "Warning" }; var alertOptions = { height: 120, width: 260 }; Xrm.Navigation.openAlertDialog(alertStrings, alertOptions).then( function success(result) { formContext.ui.close();//close the email form }, function (error) { console.log(error.message); } ); } }

After click yes, the form will close. In this method, we used 2 functions provided by D365.

Close form.

Show Alert.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/xrm-navigation/openalertdialog

Hope it helps.

Best Regards,

Leo
